John Arne Riise, the Liverpool defender, is in talks with Roma after being given permission to discuss a move.

The clubs are close to agreeing a fee for the Norwegian international and the player landed in the Italian capital this morning to begin negotiations with last season’s Serie A runners-up.

“AS Roma would like to announce that it has been given permission by the English club to negotiate with the player’s agent the contract and conditions needed before reaching a price between the two clubs,” a statement read.
